Toneelhuis/FC Bergman: 300 el x 50 el x 30 el, Barbican Theatre

Don't mime if we do: 300 el x 50 el x 30 el at the Barbican Theatre is the most avant-garde documentary you'll see all year

Toneelhuis/FC Bergman: 300 el x 50 el x 30 el, Barbican Theatre
Straight from Belgium to the London International Mime Festival, young theatre collective FC Bergman seamlessly blend theatre and film for a powerful production at the Barbican Theatre.

Our story begins in a wild forest clearing, where the inhabitants of a small village community live in fear of an impending disaster – a flood of Biblical proportions. The narrative moves from the external to internal as a live camera crew begins documenting the surreal and peculiar aspects of life that dominate the town. Secrets captured by the crew are revealed on the big screen, alongside a soundtrack that includes Vivaldi, The Persuasions and Nina Simone.

Inspired by Noah's Ark – the title alludes to the vessel’s dimensions – 300 el x 50 el x 30 el grapples with similar themes: human failure, the meaning of life, and hope.
